Maintaining Motivation & Recharge

When times are tough, it can often seem as though maintaining motivation is an uphill battle. In times of personal struggle or difficult circumstances at work or in school, it is easy to feel discouraged and overwhelmed. The key to motivation is to remember that it is an active, not passive feeling – one that must be practiced and nurtured.

In order to boost your motivation during challenging times, it may be beneficial to break large tasks down into smaller, more manageable ones. Focusing on progress instead of feeling overwhelmed by a long list of things to do can help you stay motivated to accomplish your goals. Aside from that, try to keep your eyes on the big picture and the long-term goals you intend to achieve. You should not lose sight of the fact that setbacks are part of the process, and that with hard work and determination, you will be able to overcome them.

Last but not least, do not forget to take care of yourself both physically and mentally, by getting enough rest, eating well and taking the time to recharge so that you can enjoy your life to the fullest.

Have a blessed day

Be the pace

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel pressed for time to meet all the demands of daily life. It’s also important to pace yourself for your mental and physical health, productivity, and overall happiness. Here are just a few reasons why you should pace yourself.

1. Avoid Burnout

Putting too much pressure on yourself can lead to burnout. You may feel burned out physically, emotionally, or lose interest in things you enjoy. Burnout can be a serious problem, as it can take a long time to recover. By pacing yourself, you can avoid getting completely burnt out and needing a long break.

2. Productivity boost

Take breaks and pace yourself to maximize your productivity. It’s easy to become fatigued and lose focus if you’re constantly working. Take regular breaks to stay fresh and focused, which will help you accomplish more.

3. Reduce Stress

Putting yourself under too much stress is physically and mentally draining. Without time for relaxation and recharge, your body and mind can feel overwhelmed. Make time for relaxation and self-care to reduce stress and improve your wellbeing.

4. Enjoy Life More

Life is short, so make time for the things you love. If you rush through everything and don’t slow down to enjoy the little things, life can feel like a never-ending task list. Enjoying life more and being happier can be achieved by pacing yourself and making time for what you love.

5. Avoid Making Mistakes

Rushing through everything makes mistakes easier. No matter what the mistake is, not taking the time to slow down and focus can lead to errors. Make sure you’re producing high-quality work by pacing yourself and double-checking your work.

The bottom line: Pacing yourself is important for your health, productivity, and happiness. When you take breaks, reduce stress, and enjoy life more, you’ll be able to accomplish more and feel better. In other words, the next time you feel the urge to rush through something, take a deep breath and remind yourself to pace yourself and take your time.

Have a blessed day

Go big

Sometimes we get caught up in competitions or our egos scream for attention when all we really want is to unleash our brilliant gifts. Your brilliance can’t be taken with you, so aim high.

Change can be hard for some people. We often rely on what we’ve learned as children to survive, thrive, and fit in with others. Many people have fought for survival and every scrap that came their way, while some have adapted to change and thrived in the midst of change. It takes work to unlearn these old beliefs and dismantle them.

There is always room for win-win. You can create amazing changes when you are able to see beyond the ego and recognize the abundance that is available. A team with people like this is uplifted, the energy soars, and amazing creativity emerges. In a culture driven by scarcity and competition, this is much harder to do, sustain, and elevate.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that the high road is often the better path. It’s not about judging others wrong or believing yourself better. It’s about knowing your truth. Stay true to yourself. Stay away from competition. Visualize the vision, experience the outcome, and give freely what you have to offer the world. Nothing from this life can be taken with you. Be what you can for the world. You lose what you don’t give.

Bringing about positive change and serving others becomes less important than how it is accomplished. Even though you may feel hurt when others criticize your ideas or take credit for your innovations, remembering the benefits for all will often ease the pain. Your key is evaluating whether it is serving a common good before offering yourself. Being grateful for your contributions would bring you peace. The time may come to move on to a more collaborative team and a more receptive and appreciative audience.

Achieving your purpose and living your passion will be rewarding. The recognition will come. It is the heart & soul that will always triumph over the mind & ego. As you travel along the journey of your career and life, you’ll need to stay true to your inner brilliance. Make sure these negative experiences don’t undermine your worth. The negative experience is not you. It is often the negativity we experience from others that reflects more on them than on us.

Our lenses, gifts, wiring, and experiences differ. Diversities are gifts of life which bring us together and create a society, a solution, a technology, etc., for the benefit of all. Be confident when others fail to see your vision. By staying true to yourself, you’ll attract the right people, the right opportunities, and the right support. Be humble and aim high.

Be the best life

The best life is one where we no longer strive for more. Our sense of contentment is a reflection of how we should view ourselves and what we are given. It is self-defeating to be anxious for more or to envy others. When we are constantly hoping for more happiness, we are in a constant state of frustration.

In other words, what matters most? Not too much, not too little.

Now is a great time to appreciate what we have. Besides life itself, there is family, friends, and everything else that surrounds us naturally. All we have to do is take a moment to look around. It may be time to make a gratitude list of all the good things we have to be grateful for.

Do you have people in your life that you would miss terribly if they were no longer there? A walk offers many things to appreciate and feel good about, don’t you think? The flowers, trees, birds, and clouds in the sky offer a feeling of calmness and harmony. It could be a caterpillar crossing the sidewalk or a neighbor waving at you. There’s nothing more adorable than a cute pup or kid enjoying a special moment.

The happiness, peace, and enjoyment of life now just makes sense if you are satisfied and at peace with oneself and others.

Don’t worry

Would you really be happy if your circumstances changed? Preconceived ideas of happiness prevent us from being satisfied until they are realized.

Life isn’t always easy – even after certain things happen, we aren’t satisfied! As a result, we shift our focus to something bigger and better, believing that will make us happy (or happier). Never do we allow ourselves to be content. How about you?

Even if not everything in your life is perfect, you can decide to be happy RIGHT NOW. Here are 3 ways to get started:

1) Be grateful. One of the most powerful attitudes is gratitude. You feel good and your focus shifts from what you don’t have to what you do have! By focusing on what you are grateful for (even the really small blessings), you worry less about what is lacking. The result?Happiness spreads more widely!

2) Take a moment to breathe. Being rushed and scattered all the time makes it difficult to be happy and content. Make time for yourself to relax, dream, and enjoy life’s simpler moments to be truly happy. Make it a habit to do things you love every day. Listen to great music, read books that stimulate your imagination, go for long walks, and just enjoy life.

3) Love the journey.Some of us base our expectations on far-off results, such as completing goals. Our belief is that everything will be perfect once we reach our destination. Enjoying the journey to your destination can lead to much success! Embrace every moment as an opportunity to work towards higher goals. Whenever you achieve a goal, feel pride in your accomplishment. Make it a worthwhile journey and you’ll enjoy the end result even more!

You need to understand that happiness is often a choice you make each moment. Although some serious situations make it difficult to feel happy, most often we allow the little things to disturb us and block any happiness we might otherwise experience. Embrace happiness, and you’ll reap the rewards!

Dreams

Write about your dream home.

My dream home isn’t really a dream home. Honestly, I’m not too complicated. As long as it’s nice and warm, and keeps us safe, that’s all I need.

A few additions would be great for my house. The first thing would be a pool, the second would be a pavilion for family time. It’d be cool to have a fire pit and an outdoor kitchen. I’d be happy with a nice office and a game room.

The thought may have crossed my mind. Despite that, I’m really happy and content with the home I own right now. Our lives have been blessed by God, and we are grateful.

Stay blessed

Let yourself take a break

Do you need a break? From what?

Is it time for a break? Yep, I’d like a break from these hives and joint pains. As someone who suffers from chronic hives and joint pain, I can attest that it is a very tough time. I am in pain at least six days a week and deal with hives constantly. NSAIDS cause me severe reactions, so I cannot take anything for the pain or to stop the itching.

Having to deal with it makes working long and hard. Since anxiety makes things worse, I try to relax after work. However, I suffer from anxiety, so I find this difficult. However, regardless of the hives and joint pain, I remain grateful and happy. It won’t stop me from pushing forward. If you are experiencing something that you feel you need a break from, then it is important to give yourself a short break, and then keep pushing forward as it will get better as time passes. I encourage you to keep pushing forward.

Hit the lottery. WHAAAAAT

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Wow, what would I do if I won the lottery? My first priority would be to pay off all my debts, followed by the purchase of a new car and SUV. There is really nothing I need, however, I would enjoy having a driver since I hate driving. I will definitely ensure the well-being of my family. They would never have to worry about lack of anything again.

As well, I am interested in supporting some of my favorite organizations. Despite the fact that you may think this is crazy, I would keep my job, but only work a few days per week. As I am not a traveler, I have the option of working and enjoying my life at the same time. In my opinion, the simple things in life are the best.
